Game Lineup

Costs-$10 for each tournament, $20 COVER CHARGE for 1st tournament.

Remember. DON’T BE LATE. These are all tournament START times. We WILL START ON TIME. If you are late, you won’t be allowed to enter the tournament UNLESS we have an open spot to replace a bye on the bracket. You ALSO will be required to pay an extra $10 if you are late. This means, MAKE SURE YOU ARE ENTERED and SOMEONE HAS PAID FOR YOU BEFORE THE SCHEDULED TOURNAMENT TIMES. DO NOT ASSUME you are in the tournament unless you have PAID or someone has PAID and entered your name.

Another rule we are enforcing in FULL EFFECT. Have your controller/joystick READY when your name is called for your match. If you are sharing, and someone else is in a tourney, you will be passed for another match. If there are no other matches we can do, you WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. Sharing controllers/converters holds up tournaments, so make sure you have your stuff ready to go. You have a 4 month notice since we are notifying everyone NOW about it.

The Top 2 players from Sf4 and HDREMIX tournaments will bypass pools/qualfiers at EVO WORLDS in Vegas.

Let me get a jump on this as of now this is the SNK schedule:

Friday: Casual/Exhibition/Money Match day- Speaks for itself.

Saturday and Sunday: KOF 2002UM, KOFXI, 98UM

Any questions? Pretty self explanatory isn’t it? If we get those done other stuff is possible…but don’t get your hopes up…We gotta get those done before ANYTHING else happens…You wanna play such and such game? Do it on Friday…thats why its free/casual day.

I got my own megaphone this time…If you are in one of my tournies check with me, I’ll call your name 3x, if nothing or no word if you’re in a main tournament…Kiss your butt goodbye…DQ.

I’ll write on the white boards I own what match is next too…

Don’t wake up on time? So sad…not my problem…the show must go on!!!

-DG

Street Fighter III: Third Strike (Arcade version) (Controller ports are tentative due to 360 sticks not reacting well on converters)

How about just use switch sticks then?

Anyway, Ill be here for this of course. MWC is always a pretty good time.

MWC!!! I love it.

Sign me up for bringing a console and Street Fighter 4, and Soul Calibur 4 if it is for some reason run.

I got yah covered…I think we may have time for MIRA… After all I want my rematch!! :annoy: :wgrin:
I’ll be giving you a call soon Webs!

Where is the Xbox 360 love in this tournament? PS2 and PS3??? damn…

I will be there, and if you need any staff style help, Jason, count me in.

I can probably bring my wii and tvc, but ill be hawkeyeing that shit whenever its in use. Id rather not leave my converters with my wii, either, so make sure people bring sticks and converters. I highly suggest that we have two wii-motes hard-synced to each wii in use, and that people plug wii-based controls into those. We just need a way to secure the wii-motes to the station, so they also dont get jacked. Any ideas, Dream?

I love TvC, but damn the wii for making this all so complicated.

evo is ps2 and ps3, or like mr wizard said, unless you want to donate the money for them to buy 20 xbox 360s then forget it.

Pretty sure I’ll actually make it this year. Count me in for both ST’s.

Forgot about the mystery tourney, count me in for that as well.

Keep CvS2 :frowning:

See also this article: http://shoryuken.com/?p=502

Count me in for:

Tatusnoko vs Capcom
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix
Street Fighter IV
Capcom vs SNK 2
Mystery Tournament

And Lukus: 98um.

Also, im voting for MK vs DC to be run because I simply want to see tournament play of this game. Make it happen!

Shit I’m there then!

MvC2

MWC is the shit! I vote for Alpha 3 to be there again this year.

so there’s a possibility to use console sticks for MvC2? If so, I’d be very interested.

i will most def make it to this!!!

I’ll make it this year since my summer classes will probably be either Monday’s and Wednesday’s or Tuesday’s and Thursday’s (or both)! I’ll definitely enter TvC and SF4 (need a converter though), and the three major SNK games. I’ll also enter FUC and S!AH2 if someone runs it.

No Smash??
Kind of disappointing… but if you use the SBR standard, non-Evo '08 Ruleset, I can get a pretty big attendance for it. Unless that’s not what you want. :sweat:

But sign me up for 3rd Strike, SF4, HDremix and some Tatsunoko. I’ll bring a Wii setup as well for TvC.

Gonna try to make it this year.

Count me in for: SF4, MVC2, CVS2, ST, STHD, 3S, A3, SC4, and the mystery tournament.

Oh boy MWC again? You know I"m always down. :slight_smile:

Name:Frankie Gomez
City: Chicago IL
Games: CVS2,MVC2,TVC and SF4

Dream plz don’t drop Cvs2, I’d be one unhappy kid if you did.:shake:

-EX :cool:

SRK for the most part seems to prefer the game with items. That said, many of the smash players at MWC last year were very vocal about having to pay the venue fee for entering only one game, and many of them that did enter changed the rules as the tournament went on as long as their opponent agreed. Im not running this event, but those kinds of things would make me not want to have the game back either.
